Walk difficulty: fairly easy, a fairly flat dirt trail
Walking distance: about 0.2 mile one way
Stamp hand-carved
Status: alive and well July 2020
Heading south from Tyrone on New Mexico Highway 90 turn right (west) on Tyrone Thompson CMR (county maintained road). This road is also FR 136. At this intersection is a sign for Burro Mountain Homestead RV Park. This is a well-maintained dirt road suitable for passenger cars. Drive 3.9 miles, turn left into a flat dirt parking area past a Continental Divide (CD) Trail stake and park across from the FR 4249F stake. If you come to a cattle guard across FR 136, you have gone too far.
Walk up the dirt road heading south. After you cross the wash 3 times and where the road makes a sharp turn to the right, continue straight onto the CD Trail (Continental Divide marker on tree up ahead), staying on the left side of the wash.
July 2020 - trail has been rerouted but some of the markers are present.
(Rock cairns marked the trail at time of placement, not seen in 2020). Continue a short distance following CD markers until you come to a gate in a fence line. Gate has collapsed into wash, fence line present.
(Walk through the gate and)
Continue ahead to a pine tree on the left side of the trail with a CD marker, up high. Standing behind the tree facing south walk about 25 steps at about 180 degrees (from mag. north) slightly up hill to 2 sawed off stumps.
(Below the hill is a collapsed stump/tree near the trail.)
The box is on the north side of the larger stump under a flat rock covered with some plant debris.
Please please be sure the contents are double ziplocked when you put them back in the box (i.e. the stamp is in a ziploc, the book is in a ziploc, and the two are in the larger ziploc bag), and put all of it INSIDE the box. Please rehide the box well under the rock and cover with some plant debris so that it can not be seen from any direction.
I will not be able to check on this box very often; so, please let me know if you find it, or if it needs attention or is missing:
